Quick Tech Support: I have a Dell laptop that occasionally, but not always, displays random letters or conducts a certain key combination when I hit either shift key. I've done a full windows reinstall and pulled the battery for 5 minutes (something a friend recommended), and neither works. Could this be on the BIOS level?

New Florida Republican Governor Rick Scott announced Wednesday he is rejecting money for the federal high-speed rail system that would have linked Orlando and Tampa. Apparently the ridership study was favorable to the line, but he canceled the project anyways. He didnt want of that "dirty" big government money.

Nokia and Microsoft Team Up in Smartphone Battle - So, an executive from Microsoft (Stephen Elop) leaves to become the CEO of Nokia, then magically they dump most of their in house development and run to M$ for help. How convenient!

I just bought my ticket for the home opener (section 535, Row 16). I've never been to a home opener before. I'm "All In"

I applied for a job at the University of Iowa and was just told they are "very interested in (my) candidacy and will begin checking your references quite soon" Wooo hooo! (Ok, not the part about having to possibly move if I am hired freaks me out a bit. lol)

Mac or PC?

I have to say, AOL is doing a nice job at trying to reinvent itself into a media company after they realized their online service was dying. One problem though: 80% of the AOL's profit comes from Scamming Old People

There should be a low that requires Amanda Bynes to dress as a 60s school girl every day.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 4, 2011 -> 03:49 PM) I know that's true for individual plans but I have no idea about family plans. 1500 minutes, unlimited texts, "unlimited" data: $129.99 WHen you talk bang for your buck, Sprint is by far the best DEAL, but I can do ATT, Verizon for cheaper with less minutes and data.

For the record, I would LOVE Sprint, just too expensive for my budget.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 4, 2011 -> 10:54 AM) ATT seems to be great in larger cities, but I get terrible/no reception when I'm traveling for work (usually it's in the middle of nowhere). See, and here lies my problem. I was just talking to a friend who lived "in the boonies" and never had a problem.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 4, 2011 -> 09:00 AM) Wireless as in a wireless phone or as in say a home network? sorry, meant cell phone

AT&T wireless cell phone users, what are your thoughts on your service? I posted on Facebook that we were thinking of switching to AT&T, I got 11 responses. Of those who actually have HAD AT&T, 4 were negative and 4 were positive. The rest of the comments were people who "heard" AT&T was bad.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 1, 2011 -> 02:56 PM) What about Sprint? It's cheapest family plan with data is 129.99. I can get AT&T for as low as $84.99, and up to $109.99.
